Journal #2 Movies
Hmm... that's the first thing that comes to mind when someone asks me to name my favorite movie. There are just so many I can't pick just one but if I would have to pick on the spot I would have to say Bridesmaids. Some may find the comedy a bit boring or gentle humor, I, however find it hilarious! Most men don't take to this movie as well as women do, maybe it's because it's a chick-flick? I feel like everyone should see it at least once though. I don't look at the camera angle or sound when picking a good movie, they are still important don't get me wrong. I look for tons of laughter if it's a comedy and an "edge of the seat" feeling when watching a horror movie, etc. The movie has to reach reach the sense of what the genre is. Bridesmaids is a comedy that made me fall out of my seat laughing. To this day my mom and I recite quotes all the time to each other. The acting is quiet in parts, but an uproar in others. Maybe it's the plot I love so much. Basically a maid of honor is being shown over by a pompious bridesmaid with lots of money causing a battle between the two girls to be the best help to the bride. Its comical yet realistic. The moral is a nice bonus too, you should never lose yourself when you feel the weight of the world but turn things around and show people you can be the best of yourself. Also, don't get in a fight with a bridesmaid (haha). I guess I respond more to the formal elements though if I would have to choose. Being an art student you really look for the art in movies and along with that, lighting, acting and narrative. My overall adivice... watch Bridesmaids at least once!
This is a great movie! It is so hilarious and defiantly a chick flick but I think that guys can find it funny because there is rude humor throughout whether it's about farting, burping or sexual references. The whole entire movie I was laughing and still to this day I quote it with my friends and family. We both are the same when it comes to what we react more to during a movie, which is formal events. Do you have a specific example of a formal event during the movie that you thought was portrayed very well?
